I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, client-centered lens focused on empathy and compassion to support the creation of long-term, effective changes. I strive to equip my clients with the hope that it is normal to feel any and every kind of emotion but also give them tools to cope effectively and learn from those emotions. My goal is to provide a trusting environment to uncover those human emotions, find what works or does not work, and collaborate to reach new and healthier goals for life.

I am culturally diverse, and I am bilingual Spanish speaking and I enjoy meeting and hearing people's stories.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe trusting empathetic environment and to empower people to solve your own problems.

My name is Kevin Farrell, and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California for 19 years. Over my career as a therapist, I have worked with a variety of clients across the lifespan. The areas I have focused on are addictions, LGBTQ+, identity, attachment, and end-of-life issues. My primary goal is to build trust and a strong alliance with a client in order to assist them in the process of change. I consider myself to be a psychodynamic psychotherapist, meaning that I often look beneath the surface of what the client feels, says, or does.

Hi, I'm Denise, welcome to my practice. I support individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in the same patterns, struggling in your relationships, or just tired of being so hard on yourself. Maybe you're dealing with stress, divorce, marital struggles, career problems, transitional life changes, or things from your past that still affect you today. If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. I help people feel more confident, communicate better, worry less, and start showing up for themselves in a healthier way.

Do you often feel overwhelmed by anxiety, racing thoughts, or self-doubt that won’t quiet down? Maybe you find yourself stuck in cycles of rumination or OCD, unable to rest or feel fully present. These patterns often trace back to earlier life experiences and unresolved stress. Therapy can help you make sense of these responses and start building a life that feels more grounded. I use a collaborative, client-centered approach that draws from somatic and mindfulness practices to help regulate your nervous system and create a more peaceful inner world.

I believe that everyone can heal with the support of therapy. My area of focus the last couple of years has been the treatment of substance use. I typically work with clients who struggle with substance use and are interested in reducing and stopping use. I feel most comfortable treating depression, anxiety, and substance use. I like clear, open communication. I think that when we can be open and honest with ourselves, we can learn the skills to express ourselves with others. I became a therapist because I wanted to help others like I was helped when I came out as queer.
